BEST GOLF CLUB GRIPS

Golfers only touch one piece of the club on every swing. That would be the grip, which tends to get overlooked in a sea of white-hot driver faces and uber-forgiving irons. Given how frequently the club grip is handled over the course of a round, you’d assume golfers would be more discerning when it comes to selecting grips for their sets.

In fact, a large majority of golfers are content to use whatever comes on the set they purchased, which seems illogical when you consider the amount of money you invest in a new set of sticks. Not all rubber compounds are created equal, and unless you’ve tried multiple grip sizes, there’s a chance you could be playing the wrong grip altogether.

Another thing to consider when buying grips? The length of time you’ll be able to use a set before they need to be replaced. On average, most professional golfers change their grips every six weeks to two months. There’s no need to follow a pro’s lead — unless you’re playing 4-5 times per week and practicing regularly — but it’s worth considering the effect heat, dirt and oils from your hands have on your grips.

According to a Golf Pride study, a set of well-worn, two-year-old grips can be a detriment to your game, costing you 3-4 shots per round. So, pay attention to your grips. With a fresh set of grips ranging from $70-$130, it’s one of the most economical investments you can make in your game.

With so many options available, here’s a look at eight grips worth considering if you’re looking for something different or simply want to know what else is out there beyond your current grip of choice.
